Zoron has been a leader in Clan Taldryan has been a strong leader in Vizsla since its inception, as well as a strong contributor to the gaming community on the Fist staff and working along side the Grand Master as Magistrate and assistant. The guidance and feedback he's provided over the years as a member of the community have helped build and improve the experience of other members. He is a proactive content creator who is incredibly active at the highest levels. His collection of sacramental and merit medals are a testament to all he's contributed since he joined the community some 20 years ago while his piles of crescents and novae show how talented he's been in participating in activities. There is no doubt in my mind that the DJB is a better community due to his contributions and he is already operating at the levels of an Elder, so he's already earned this promotion. Congratulations Zoron.

When I became Consul my first task was to set about finding the right person to be my second hand. I firmly believe that in real life and the Brotherhood the greatest of leaders are those that lead by example. I wanted someone that embodied that mentality themselves. Zoron is that person heart and soul. I find it hard to wrap my mind around all that he does sometimes. He bleeds not just Vizsla but the entire club in everything he does. When you boil it down this club is all about activity. That activity comes in many forms, shapes, and scope. You will be hard-pressed to find a more active member than Zoron. In fact, I have tried.

His activity in competitions really needs no introduction but I will do it anyway. Since his last Promotion in September of 2017 Zoron has competed in 512 competitions. He has earned 310 Crescents off those and 12 Nova, which is a 62% placement rating. Not content to just participate he seeks to do his best in each and every competition. He has earned 499 Clusters of Fire, 1702 Clusters of Earth, 44 Clusters of Ice, 83 Clusters of graphite showing that he is much more than the “puzzle king” (which he is). He led all of Vizsla in the last Vendetta in both the number of entries and points scored, which I will touch on in a second as well. Last, is just a truly staggering statistic. It takes 2 Million Credits to earn the Clan Title. As of writing this, he has earned 2,971,470 credits for the clan, second place in Vizsla is 710,440

My favorite quote in Band of Brothers is “Never put yourself in a position to take from these men.” Before the last Vendetta, I instituted a new unofficial Clan Title, the Warstalker. It is given to the member who scores the most amount of points in a Vendetta. Zoron won the title by a decent margin. However, when I gave him the results he declined the award. Stating that he wanted it to go to someone other than the Consul or Proconsul. Again, leading by example.

But wait, there is more. As Proconsul he isn’t just content to skate by on his participation numbers, give a few shoutouts, and hype up the members. He takes an active behind-the-scenes role. Our work schedules do not always line up and I can’t count the times I have been at work and thought about something that I need to take care of for the Clan only to get home and find out Zoron has already handled it.

When we first got together to lead the Clan, we made a plan. It was a simple plan that has had profound effects on the unit. First, give members stuff to do. Second, Award members properly and promptly. Zoron has run numerous competitions for the Clan and Brotherhood as a whole as can be seen by the 34 competitions he has ran. More than that he is adamant and quick in awarding our members for their work.

Credits Not Words, it is just another way of saying Lead by Example. Zoron embodies the meaning. Congratulations on Elder Zoron!
